We performed a comparison between CockroachDB and Oracle Database based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The availability and the easy to use feature is the most valuable. The documentation is also good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is node syncing, which takes only 0.54 milliseconds."
"The initial setup and deployment are simple."
"I use CockroachDB to test big data samples and to create the best structure for databases. We have four users and required 10 people for deployment and maintenance."
"The product has valuable security features."
"CockroachDB is highly reliable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its resiliency features and the geo-partitioning capabilities."
"The subset of SQL that my client is using is completely supported."
"It's powerful and fast, and the backup system is wonderful."
"It's extremely easy to use and the performance is great."
"The solution has very robust integrity due to how it is designed and implemented."
"It has good features for performance tuning."
"It's a very stable solution, especially with the hot backup."
"The interface is easy to use."
"Oracle offers good security and supports customization."
"In general, the product is strong enough and offers high performance."
"The initial setup and pricing could be improved."
"We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning."
"The platform could be more extensible."
"I find the serverless offer a bit confusing."
"Cockroach does not support all types of protocols. I need to improve it myself to support a CouchDB on my network."
"The closer they can make CockroachDB to being completely compatible with Postgres, the better. It's almost compatible, but not completely. If it was, it would be nice to just be able to use Postgres libraries without any fiddling."
"The product must improve its disaster recovery features."
"CockroachDB needs to improve store processes."
"Oracle Database could be improved by adding more automation."
"Oracle is not easy to integrate with other systems, which is something that should be improved."
"The initial setup was very complex - best case, it takes between four and six hours to set up."
"The pricing is the one sticking point for the solution because it is very expensive."
"There are plenty of options and features in this solution, but they are, somehow, not being used very well. Therefore, training and support should be increased and improved for this solution. They can make people aware of how to make proper use of their server so that people can optimize it because its cost is just too much. They can provide training on the policies and procedures to be used for archiving and all such things. There should be some kind of segregation in licensing. With a full license, all options should be available. There should also be a basic license with limited functionalities. This kind of basic license would be useful for us because we don't use most of the functionalities."
"It's not very user-friendly, and it's a little complex. Another issue that I don't like is the licensing complexity."
"Cheap and easy solutions for startups need to be made available."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
